Oh dear....

Ken Macleod may have a 'tin ear' when it comes to US electoral politics but when it comes to UK politics his worrying about a
UK Conservative revival appears to have some teeth. The news that the Conservative party is closing the gap with Labour is somewhat disturbing.

Being a child of Thatcher, I know precisely how bad a Tory government can be and do not wish to see a repeat. Although I am not a Labour party member and have never voted for them(due to the absurdities of our first past the post system) they do seem to use that tired phrase the 'lesser evil'. However I would like to see a reduced Labour majority and a greater Lib Dem representation in parliament to pressurise 'New' Labour into more progressive policies, but as ever we shall see....
